'Captain America: Civil War': Mark Ruffalo Teases Return As The Hulk

The Hulk’s fate in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a matter of discussion as of late ever since Mark Ruffalo revealed the studio’s difficulty in creating a Hulk solo film. While fans ponder which film Hulk may appear next after “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Ruffalo recently teased his character’s return in “Captain America: Civil War.”

Mark Ruffalo sent a rather cryptic post on his Twitter page about “Captain America: Civil War.” The actor shared a photo of the movie’s logo and captioned it, “the Marvel family gets just a little bit bigger. @captainamerica #CivilWar.” He linked his post to his Tumblr page, which in turn also revealed an interesting statement that probably hinted his return as The Hulk in the sequel. The actor captioned the same movie logo with, “Welcome to the wild party! Looking forward to this amazing cast.”

Ruffalo’s Twitter post has since received over one thousand six hundred likes and over one thousand two hundred retweets. Other Twitter users supposed the actor’s tweet confirms his return as the angry green giant in “Captain America: Civil War.” Fans expressed their excitement over possibly seeing Bruce Banner again in the sequel although the studio has yet to confirm the character’s return.

However, it’s unsure at this point which film The Hulk will be featured next considering at the end of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” he was seen floating in space inside the Quinjet. Speculations have it that Marvel really intended for Bruce Banner a.k.a. The Hulk to end up in space so he could bring the guardians of the galaxy back to Earth to help the Avengers battle Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War.”

Likewise per Screenrant, Marvel intentionally wanted to use The Hulk as a means of boosting the box office appeal of “Guardians of the Galaxy 2.” Connecting The Hulk with the guardians is supposedly also the studio’s means to incorporate some elements of the “Planet Hulk” storyline into the MCU.

Meanwhile, Twitter user Jill K thought that perhaps fans are just misinterpreting Mark Ruffalo’s cryptic message. The actor could supposedly simply be referring to “Captain America: Civil War” getting bigger because of the additional characters in the film and not necessarily because of his return as The Hulk. The sequel will also feature Black Panther and Ant-Man. Screenrant likewise claimed that if Mark Ruffalo’s character really has a huge relevance in the sequel, then the actor would have been officially announced as a cast by now.
